In the series of “in Casablanca”, all events take place simultaneously.

Six books with the same entrypoint gradually end differently, telling stories about the windy day, the holy mother, the smiley face, the promising properties, the unknown creature, and the passing shadow in Casablanca.

The visual contents of a photograph and the nature of the digital image are challenged within the coincidental constructions of open narratives.

Based on how visual information is conceived, connected and generated, everything can happen in Casablanca.





在卡萨布兰卡系列中,所有的事件同时发生。

六本书均从同一张摄于卡萨布兰卡的照片出发,发展出六个开篇完全相同,结尾截然不同的故事。分别讲述着:多风的一天、圣母、笑脸、有前景的房产、不明生物、黑色掠影。

从叙事的开放性中所诞生的巧合性被竭力保持着。单张照片的视觉信息边界,数码照片作为图像载体的真实性,均被连续的阅读结构挑衅着。

基于视觉信息的摄取、感应、连结、生成,在卡萨布兰卡任何事都可发生。
